An angular, blackletter-influenced display face with mostly monolinear strokes and sharply faceted corners. Forms are built from straight segments with clipped terminals, producing a chiseled, polygonal rhythm rather than smooth curves. Uppercase shows simplified gothic construction (notably the peaked A and broken, modular bowls), while lowercase retains tall ascenders and pointed joins; counters are compact and the overall texture reads dark and crisp. Numerals follow the same cut-stone logic, with octagonal/segmented shapes and hard-angled turns.
Best suited to display settings such as fantasy or horror title treatments, posters, game UI headers, album/track artwork, and packaging where a gothic-yet-playful tone is desired. It can work for short headlines or pull quotes, while long text blocks may feel visually busy due to the sharp joins and compact counters.
The font conveys a medieval, rune-like mood with a deliberately oddball twist—part gothic manuscript, part geometric engraving. Its spiky joins and clipped ends give it a ritualistic, “arcane” flavor that feels theatrical and slightly mischievous rather than strictly historical.
Likely designed to evoke blackletter tradition through simplified, geometric construction—prioritizing distinctive silhouette and atmosphere over neutral readability. The consistent faceting and clipped terminals appear intended to create a carved/engraved texture with a quirky, decorative edge.
Capitals and lowercase share a consistent faceted construction, but several glyphs lean into idiosyncratic, decorative quirks (notably in S, R, and the zig-zag diagonals), reinforcing a handcrafted, one-off personality. The dense interior shapes and sharp vertices suggest it will read best when given enough size and breathing room.
